App Permissions

Clean Up Your Apps Permissions in Only Two Minutes

Last week, my wife asked me about one of my tweets.

This normally isn’t a big deal, since it’s certainly not the first time she’s asked me about one of my tweets. What made this situation unique, was the fact that I hadn’t actually penned the tweet myself.

I was happy to find it wasn’t SPAM. No one wants to “be that guy,” but I still wasn’t comfortable with tweets going out that were not actually mine.

Why did it happen?

I had given permission on my Twitter account to an online app a number of months ago. I promptly revoked the permission and went through and cleaned up my Twitter account permissions.

Now, what about Facebook, LinkedIn and others?

Here is a handy tool to help you determine what apps have  permissions to access your private information:

Now, here’s a quick look at Apple products as they appear throughout film:

Cut the Rope: Brought to You by HTML5 & CSS3

cut the rope zeptolab

Cut the Rope is a game app for your iPhone, iPad and Android phone or tablet, but you can also play it online — for free!

It falls under the class of Angry Birds with  its cute cartoon look and feel, and centers around motion physics and cause-and-effect. Like other casual games of this nature, it’s stupidly addicting.

The coolest aspect of Cute the Rope is the development, since the web browser version of the game is an authentic translation of the mobile apps, showcasing some of the best of what HTML5 has to offer: canvas-rendered graphics, browser-based audio and video, CSS3 styling and the personality of WOFF fonts.
